Blizzident 3D Printed Toothbrush Takes Just Six Seconds- And Flosses, Too

A new 3D printed toothbrush is making waves. The Blizzident toothbrush takes just six seconds, the company behind it claims.

The Blizzident is one of the latest innovations in dentistry.The 3D printed device, which is made of a biocompatible plastic, has approximately 400 soft bristles at a 45 degree angle that whir over the teeth. The Blizzident and is custom-fitted to user's mouths, similar to braces or a retainer.

The Blizzident design was made by a "worldwide interdisciplinary team of dentists, engineers, computer scientists and dental prophylaxis experts," according to Blizzident.com. They say they aim to "radically improve and facilitate toothbrushing with the help of advanced technology."

In order to clean the teeth, the user bites down and releases the Blizzident toothbrush 10-15 times over six seconds. Six seconds later, teeth are squeaky-clean, according to Blizzident's website.

However, the new Blizzident won't just save time-it will result in much cleaner teeth, Blizzident says.

"Because you are brushing all your teeth at the same time, you are brushing extremely quickly," the company says. "You brush all the difficult-to-reach and interdental regions without even having to think about it."

The price tag will be about $405, so it won't be cheap-but after the first custom fit, pricing will be reduced.

Where does the toothpaste go, you might wonder? Blizzident directs users to put a dab of toothpaste directly on the tongue, then smooth it over the teeth.

Oh, and all that flossing stuff? Blizzident's new brush does that at the same time. It also reaches the molars and the notoriously hard-to-reach space under the gumline through a "Sub-Gingival Bass Technique."
